I swear there was another commercial they did that went "something something....hey wow! It's just a dollar a daaaaay" at the end. Can't find it anywhere online, so I must be confusing them with another company.
I actually ordered this from Buck a Day back in the day. After I made my first payment and noticed the balance not drop(interest rate was high), I paid it off with visa and never did something so stupid again lol. Was a good life lesson.
Never thought of interest rates back then since it was posted on their commercials like they do with cars. I built my own computer around this time from the ground up. It's funny because a "friend" of mine was super jealous I was doing it that he was just telling everyone it was a clone lol.
I’m surprised to see this is from 2001. I always associated it with the nineties. (Though one could argue the “nineties” as we remember them didn’t really end until 9/11.)
0:05 man every time I heard this had I felt some Cher (it really sounded like a mix of Believe and Song For the Lonely even though I don't think it came out yet) and what WAS a clone anyway?
This was a straight rip-off of this song: ua-cam.com/video/Lgs9QUtWc3M/v-deo.html Also, a clone was any non-IBM PC, since every x86 Windows machine can be traced to the original IBM PCs. Before that, different brand computers weren't compatible with each other.
You know your commercial is oozing with contemporary 2000s flare when it starts off with a parody of Alice Dejay's "Better Off Alone"
Holy shit here it is! I remember seeing this 100 times a day as a kid growing up in Canada.

@@probnot I was thinking the same thing! The "dollar a day" part I can still hear. xD
Also was "knock knock knockin' on buck a days door"
This commercial was like a fever dream to me...ended up here after asking my brother if he remembered and he wasn’t sure, lolll
I always asked people but they normally had no idea what I was talking about. It frequented YTV lol.
@@dylanhagsauce8629 it unlocked the clone mind

I'm sure losing that first payment was well worth the life lesson in the long run!

Just a buck a day, for the rest of your life, for a machine that wasn't even "powerful" when the ad was put out

ah yes I think I do recall hearing that on radios back in the day
@@probnotI think it’s more of a parody - they want you to recognize the Alice Deejay song (that it’s a “clone” of, funnily enough)
I thought there was also a middle aged guy saying "No!" to the camera.
Is there an alternate version of this ad, or am I just misremembering?
Do you sell any clowns?
